Abstract
A system includes a rotational coupling including a first rotational joint, a second rotational joint, and a coupling body disposed between the first and second rotational joints. The coupling body includes first and second body portions disposed about a rotational axis, and a layered portion disposed about the rotational axis radially between the first and second body portions. The layered portion includes first and second elastomeric portions disposed about the rotational axis, and a rigid portion disposed about the rotational axis radially between the first and second elastomeric portions. The rigid portion includes a plurality of radial protrusions.
